NICE!!! Florence is fun stuff they have some wicked razebacks out there. I havent been there in about 2-3 years. I'm going to make it a point to hit it up this summer. yfz 450 are fast a buddy of mine has one it hauls!!! My favorite place to ride is coos bay and sand lake Winchester is just kinda boring for me except for banshee hill of course that never get old.

here is a pic of my buddies yfz. this is a older pic now its on a more serious diet down around 250 wet





And i finally found a pic of my custom cr500 in a 250r frame. +6 swing and lonestar A-arm, Lonestar steering stem, works triple rate,cool head, v-force reeds. you name it

Yeah 7-mile (Riverside ORV Park) I go there on a bi-weekly to weekly basis. It's kinda small, i can ride through the entire park in around 30 mins.
Sand in the middle
Dirt on the outside.
Its not bad.
Why do you ask?

I just remember riding there as a kid. I remember it being huge maybe because i was small lol I have been meaning to take my truck out there but its like a 5-6 hour drive for me and gas just wont give me a break.

Lol Swayside, don't waste your gas on a 6 hour drive to 7 mile.
It's not that big, and it can be easily outridden in 30-minutes..

Theres a place near where i live called huckleberry flats. Kinda neat to ride at. Lots of trails. The only downfall is its patroled by the Forest service, so noise and spark mumbo jumbo has to be right. O yea and its high elavation so it has brownish red clay mud.(pita to get off anything) And normally snow in the winter.
